2 Quart Cold Brew Coffee Maker Recipe
Note: This recipe applies to both the Glass and Tritan models
1. Add Coffee
Measure 2 cups / approx. 170 grams of your favorite coarsely ground coffee. Attach the extender to the filter. Using a spoon, add the coffee to the filter, then twist the infuser with extender into the lid*
2. Add Water & Cold Brew
Fill the Takeya pitcher with cold filtered water until it is almost full, leaving 1 inch of space at the top (below the threading). Lower the filter into the water and seal the lid airtight. Shake for 30 seconds to fully saturate the grounds, then refrigerate for 24 hours to cold brew (store upright or on its side).
Optional: Throughout 24 hour brewing period, shake the pitcher 2x to keep the grounds evenly saturated.
When brewing is complete, remove the filter. Rinse any grounds from the interior of the lid, then seal the lid airtight and store cold brew coffee for up to two weeks.
Optional: For additional flavor/strength. After removing the filter, place it in a glass and allow the remaining coffee to drain from the grounds for 45 minutes. Pour this additional concentrate into the pitcher and shake to mix.
Empty the filter, clean and dry thoroughly.
3. Enjoy
When ready to serve, twist the lid open aligning the arrow on the lid with the spout for a steady pour. Pour cold brew coffee over ice. If desired, mix with milk or sweetener.
*Note: If this is the first use, clean pitcher/components, dry and reassemble.
